About Diane Harris

I'm an editor for Quiltmaker magazine in Golden, Colorado, USA. For six years, I wrote pattern instructions, product reviews and how-to articles. Then I spent four years as QM's Interactive Editor, working to generate much of our online content. Now I'm back to patterns and how-tos, which is a great fit for me. I still love writing about quilt-related topics for Quilty Pleasures, and I always have my finger on the pulse of the quilting world. I teach a variety of quilt classes and give guild programs, too. Reach me by email: editor@quiltmaker.com.

I don’t have any! I just started to quilt and my big Christmas/Birthday/Mother’s Day/etc. gift is a brand new Baby Lock quilting machine. Now I need to learn how to do the actual quilting! I plan on buying holiday fabric after the holidays to build up my stash and then I can work all year long on making Christmas gifts!

I probably have about 40-50 yards. (It adds up fast!). I have some that I have had for 15-20 years that I bought when my girls were little and I sewed a bunch for them. But, I can’t resist it after Christmas when it is 50% off.

Gosh, if I had to measure it and sum it up I would say about a total of 15-20 yards including the scraps and the FQ’s and yardage. BUT…I have made a lot of Christmas gifts with it this year and DIDN’T buy any new Christmas fabrics ~ worked from stash!

I have a bin of Christmas fabric, no idea how many yards! A lot of it is smaller pieces left over from projects. In addition, I have lots of “non-holiday” reds and greens to call on when needed. I love making bags for wrapping gifts.

I hardly have any! Maybe 3 yards at most. I buy to make presents for other people and then I use most of it up. I did make an advent wall hanging for my own use last year, and I would love to make a Christmas quilt for my bed someday!

I feel like I’m a piker when it comes to Christmas fabric – I think I only have a couple pieces right now. Everything else has been made into presents. Therefore, a win of some fabric would be a great start to my new stash of Christmas fabrics.

Love Christmas fabrics and have been collecting for years. I make a Christmas quilt every year so have lots of scraps, and have to admit I will keep even small scraps. Have cut lots into strips- 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″ and 3 1/3″ so they are ready for some fast projects. Don’t have a clue as to how much yardage I have, but think I could fit it all into a old fashioned wash tub!!! Rounded up , of course.

I love Christmas fabric and probably have at least thirty yards of it. Some of the pieces are tiny and treasured as well as unavailable anymore, so they are waiting for very special projects. I’m always on the look out for more because there are so many projects I want to make. Thanks so much for the chance on your giveaway!

I have 1 yard of a green plaid with candles that’s really kind of ugly and doesn’t work for quilting (SIGH) and about a half yard total of various small red prints that work for Christmas. No actual holiday holly/santa/present etc etc fabric. I need some!

Thanks for all the fabulous links. My Christmas fabric stash consists of maybe two metres and a few fqs of actual prints. Then some red and green that could be used for Christmas projects. Best Wishes to all of you.

Oh, dear. If we count all the Christmas Noah, poinsettias, in blue, pink, red, red with gold background, then all the blue and silver, then red and green and red and green and red and green – you see the problem, I know I’m way over 100 yards (4 stacks folded 24″ deep by 10″ tall). Someday I’ll use it all up . . . . .

I have a few special ones I bought W-A-A-A-Y before the quilting bug bit. They have deer on them and they are hard to cut into. Once I cut, they are gone! That’s okay, I just keep buying OTHER Christmas fabric to use!

I DID have a couple of yards of various holiday prints, but my sister and I did a LOT of crafting this year, and now I probably have enough snippets and scraps left to make a doll quilt….if it were a very small doll. Time to start building it up again!

Oh, my! You would ask that question. I have a tub that is overflowing with at least 25 pounds, and probably more. Any one know how many yard to the pound? I can hardly pick it up, so it is in the “probably more” category. Of course, there’s always room for more–just like *ello.
